Andy Bakerson, Scott Marconelli and others felt very helpless. They never thought that Sun Computer Systems, founded by Li Zetian, was also opening a graphics workstation. The graphics workstation developed by Moon Microsystems makes the moon workstation uncompetitive.
"Alas, the workstation is too powerful! We came to the ces exhibition this time, and we can only hope that someone will value our company's potential and invest in a new generation of workstations!" Andy Becktosen shook his head and sighed.
The exhibition stand was too remote, no one came to take care of it, Scott Marconi stretched out a hand on the table in a bored way, after hearing Andy Becktosen's words, he just nodded weakly, no say.
This group of people who were full of enthusiasm and passion dropped out of school to start a business, but they were soon poured cold water.
Starting a business is not easy, especially when industry giants also enter the graphics workstation, it will be even more difficult...
Scott Marconelli sighed slightly, raised his head and looked forward, at this moment, he was suddenly startled!
I saw that not far ahead, Dr. Jim Clark led Li Zetian and his party towards this side.
"Andy Bakerson, look over there!!!" Scott Marconelli stretched out his right hand and pointed forward, while whispering in surprise.
Andy Becktosen also saw it at this time. Like Scott Marconelli, his expression was very surprised, and at the same time, his heart was full of doubts.
When Li Zetian walked in front of them, the two stood up unconsciously.
"Hello, Mr. Li and Dr. Clark!" the two said in unison.
"I'm Andy Becktosen!"
"Scott Maconelli!"
The two introduced themselves separately.
Li Zetian nodded and looked at them. Stanford University is indeed a place for nurturing entrepreneurial talents. These two are rare talents, young and promising!
When dealing with young people, Li Zetian was very direct and said bluntly: "Andy Becktosen, Scott Marconelli, it's a pleasure to meet you. I heard from Dr. Clark that you have created a company that is also producing graphics. Workstation company, and the product is not bad, so I came to see."
"mr·Li, how can our products be compared with Sun Computer Systems..." Scott Marconelli shook his head and said embarrassedly.
Li Zetian smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to belittle yourselves, it's amazing that you started your own business in college! Are you interested in joining Sun Computer Systems?"
When Scott Marconelli and Andy Becktosen heard the words, they were all stunned.
Before waiting for the two of them to respond, Li Zetian added: "Dr. Clark has joined Sun Computer Systems..."
As soon as the words fell, the two were shocked and looked at Dr. Jim Clark.
Dr. Jim Clark smiled and nodded: "Sun Computer Systems has acquired sgI, thanks to mr Li who looks up to me. I am now the chief technical officer of Sun Computer Systems! Mr. Li knows that you have extraordinary talents, so I came here specially, I invite you to join the sun company!"
Li Zetian asked with a smile at this time: "Don't you want to join a company that can defeat the US denet computer system company is currently the most likely to surpass their existence in minicomputers and even high-level computers!!!"
Heartbeat and hesitation flashed across their faces.
Li Zetian thought to himself, it seems that he has to add fire, not only to talk about ideals with them, but also to talk about interests. After all, they have just come out of the university, and their economic conditions are very important. So, the equity incentive system was mentioned again, and also spent 100,000 US dollars to acquire moon Microsystems!
Scott Maconelli and Andy Becktosen were quite moved, they looked at each other and nodded secretly.
"mr·Li, we are willing to join Sun Computer Systems!!!" The two said in unison again.
Li Zetian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and turned a possible future competitor into his own strength, turning the enemy into use!
"Very good, you are welcome to join this big group!" Li Zetian showed a smile and reached out and shook hands with the two of them. Immediately, Dongfang Yuqin was also asked to draft the agreement, and then the contract was signed.
Li Zetian smiled and said to them: "Sun Computer Systems has its own office building in Los Angeles, and employees from sgI and moon have moved here. As for the accommodation problem, the company has staff dormitories here. Of course, you can also solve it yourself!"
"Okay." Dr. Jim Clark, Scott Marconelli, and Andy Bakerson nodded in response.
Li Zetian looked at the time and felt that Thomas Rockefeller and others should also be here, so he said goodbye to Jim Clark and others.
…
The ces exhibition is very big, Li Zetian sent people to watch at the door, and notified Dongfang Yuqin as soon as there was news.
Li Zetian looked at her and asked, "Dongfang Yuqin, Thomas Rockefeller is here?"
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, "Come on!"
Li Zetian suddenly showed a strange smile: "Go, go see them."
"Okay, Mr. Li, they're over there now!"
After a while, Li Zetian met with Thomas Rockefeller and others.
"Mr. Rockefeller, have you been to the booth of Commodore?" Li Zetian asked when they met.
"No."
"Just let's go see it together?"
"Okay, let's go and have a look!" Thomas Rockefeller nodded, but he wanted to know what new products the Commodore company could have!
Li Zetian smiled and led Thomas Rockefeller and others there.
Commodore's booth was very lively, they launched an epoch-making computer - "commodore-64" (Commodore c64). It features that everything is integrated into the keyboard, such as sound tapes for storage, 2okB of Rom, 64kB of Ram and so on. Also important to note, it's only $595, less than half the price of the app1e-11!
In the previous life, this "Volkswagen in the computer" made many families understand the concept of a computer for the first time. It sold 2200,000 units over the years, surpassing any other PC models. kind.
However, the profit is too low, although there is a lot of sales, but no money is made.
Even so, commodore-64 has made an outstanding contribution to promoting the development of personal computers, once occupying 3o% to 4o% of the market!
Right now, Apple is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the release of the commodore-64 computer will undoubtedly seize Apple's market share and deal a heavy blow to it!
When Thomas Rockefeller and others saw the Commodore-64 computer, they all turned ugly and left after a while.
Li Zetian smiled and followed.
"Mr. Rockefeller, you have also seen how popular the commodore-64 computer is! Once this product is launched, Apple may be unable to withstand it, resulting in even more serious losses for the company! I think it will not be long before Apple's market value will still be Plummet, then, maybe not even 2.5 billion US dollars!" Li Zetian said lightly, his tone was not threatening, but simply stated a fact.
Thomas Rockefeller looked complicated and tangled.
The rest were no better.
Li Zetian's words poke at their heart, making them very uncomfortable!
Thomas Rockefeller did not immediately agree to Li Zetian's acquisition conditions, and left immediately, thinking that although the commodore-64 computer was very popular at the exhibition, whether it sold well or not is another matter.
Seeing them leave, Li Zetian shook his head and said, "I really don't want to hit the south wall and don't look back. Well, then wait and see!"
